ANIMATED NOMINATED FILMS:

ROBIN ROBIN

Robin Robin, an Aardman Production, is the tale of a small bird with a very big heart. After a shaky nativity of her own – her unhatched egg falls out of the nest and into a rubbish dumpster – she comes out of her shell, in more ways than one, and is adopted by a loving family of mice burglars. As she grows up, though, her differences make her something of a liability. Can Robin discover, and learn to love, who she really is, delighting her family and earning her wings in the process?

Directed by Dan Ojari and Mikey Please

AFFAIRS OF THE ART
“Beryl is a 59-year-old factory worker who’s obsessed with drawing and determined to become a hyper-futurist artiste. We also meet her grown son, Colin, a techno-geek, her husband, Ifor, now Beryl’s model and muse, and her sister, Beverly, a fanatical narcissist living in LA. Affairs of the Art features Quinn’s signature hand-drawn animation with attitude and Mills’ raucously humorous scenarios, in an endearing romp through one family’s eccentric addictions.”
